Alright - I've followed @Starkimarm recommendation and installed #Proxmox on the server. On new NVMes following @cubeos advice. 😉

I also successfully installed #homeassistant using the Proxmox VE Helper Scripts

Now - what's the recommended way to install #nextcloud #paperlessng #unifi etc? These are only available as LXC or, as for Nextcloud, a super old VM.

Would you install a dedicated VM for each (Debian?) and then only the LXC on that or is there a better way?

Sylve is a new and very promising bhyve and jail manager for FreeBSD - coming with clustering support and a pretty nice and modern web ui which is alike the #Proxmox one. I had a closer look at it... And I'm amazed!

I've been learning more about #networking this weekend with my #ubiquiti #unifi devices. #VLAN almost makes sense 🥴

I'm still struggling with how to put my #proxmox server onto one VLAN along with a few VMs that will operate on the internal network, and put the other VMs on a separate VLAN. I have two NICs so I can segregate the traffic at the physical switch.

It seems like I need to install some software on ProxMox to have a virtual switch.

But I keep getting tripped up on the Unifi side.

🤔

as always, highly depends on your personal needs. I'm a huge Proxmox fan, but there're of course several different cool solutions. Next to #Proxmox, I also often use #incus [0] in personal labs but I'm also a huge fan of #XCPng with #Orechstra. #SuseHarvester 's [2] approach is also a great solution (similar to #Platform9) if you want to go into the modern world (in the end, they're also using KVM). If it's just single node, I really would also consider #bhyve on #FreeBSD (maybe even via #ClonOS / #cbsd).

DRS but for #Proxmox? Yes!

With #ProxLB (free and #opensource / #GPLv3) you can get something which comes close to it - also featuring things like affinity/anti-affinity rules, node pinning, grouping and maintenance mode for multiple nodes. And if you’re even more interested, there’ll be a talk about my project at the #DutchProxmoxDay next month :)
